Message from theÌýEditor-in-Chief to Authors: On the Citation of Journal Versions
July 17, 2020
Dear all,
I hope that you and yours are doing well these days. Ìý
On this occasion of the announcement of a new issue of the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Transactions on Information Theory ,ÌýI would like to inform you about the following change which I implemented in the acceptance letters of newÌýpapers starting from this week. ÌýI mention this especially because you may not necessarily pay attentionÌýto this change when your papers are getting accepted (congratulations!), let alone that the Scholar OneÌýManuscript does not enable having emphasized and colored letters in the messages from the Scholar OneÌýManuscript, as it appears below. The following paragraph is now added to each new acceptance letter.
Ìý
A Request from the Editor-in-Chief
Further explanation and motivation: The ranking of our Transactions is partially influenced by its impact factor (IF), which I believe can be significantlyÌýimproved by following the above request. As mentioned above, this should be a rather small effort from eachÌýone of you, but the benefit will be hopefully very significant.ÌýThe current IF of the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Transactions on Information Theory is lower than the IFs of other Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» periodicals in communications (as can be verified by consulting the websites of these Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» periodicals).ÌýI truly believe that the current IF of the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Trans. on Information Theory can be significantly improved withinÌýa year, and we will all benefit.
Best wishes to you and yours, have a restful summer, and keep safe at these uncertain times.
Sincerely yours,
Igal Sason

Please make sure that papers which are cited in your accepted paper as preprints on arXiv or as conferenceÌýpapers will be replaced by their corresponding publications in the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Transactions on Information Theory Ìý(or any other journal, if available). This final update before uploading the final version of your accepted paper is veryÌýimportant for increasing the impact factor of these Transactions. Although this should be a rather small effortÌýfrom each one of you, before uploading the final version of your paper, this will be very helpful for all of us.
